FTTH APAC Conference 2019

The FTTH Council Asia Pacific is very excited to bring its 14th annual FTTH APAC Conference to Wuhan, China’s optics valley on 15-17 April 2019. After a very successful event in the Philippines, the 2019 event will see the continued collaboration between the FTTH Asia Pacific Council and CRU Events.

Wuhan is home to many of the world’s leading optical communications companies; the city has become synonymous with the latest advances in telecom technologies. Connecting the business, policy and technology of fiber to everywhere, FTTH APAC 2019 will attract more than 500 senior executives from the region’s telecom regulators, policymakers, network operators, municipal leaders and solutions providers.

This year’s conference theme is focused on “5G Smart Cities Enabled by Fiber” and will be a chance to explore how the Asia Pacific telecom industry is continuing its deployment of FTTx and deep fiber to the network edge as a converged platform from which smart cities and 5G networks can be built. As the FTTH APAC Conference is well established as an essential meeting point for the Asia Pacific telecoms market, this event promises to be a fantastic chance gain market insights and network with hard-to-reach decision-makers.
